So... there's a heck of a lot more possible damage you can get if you're trying. Enough that if you cut out enough of it going to just adding level to damage works fine. And also matches monsters. The problem is making sure you skip enough of the other sources and it doesn't get too crazy with multiple attacks. Storm of Blades and Hurricane of Blades and such, I'm looking at you.Said character could also "nova" by doing bash & pummel, AP harrying assault & trip up, for 5 attacks in round 1 for a standard monster's worth of damage. Damage is... not hard to get at epic, if you're really trying. The trick is how easy it is to end up not dealing any damage, creating a massive gap between the two ends.</blockquote>
